Daniel M. Holland

Daniel M. Holland, 83, a longtime resident of Trumansburg, passed away March 1, 2020 at the Groton Community Health Care Center. He was the son of the late Robert F. and Ruth (McCargo) Holland. Dan was especially faithful with the homecare of his parents in their later years.

Daniel, a devoted husband, is survived by his loving wife, Carol Switzer Holland, step sons, Eric (Tammy), John (Suzanne), Benjamin, Kyle, and step daughter Jenna Kaye. He delighted in being Grandpa Holland to eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Their love and support for Dan attest to the great respect and admiration they hold in their hearts for him. Siblings, Robert, Deborah (Charles), and James (Patti) also survive him. They were blessed with time together not long ago at the Groton Community Health Center.

Daniel attended Trumansburg Central High School and lived and worked in his hometown, his favorite place to be. He was a licensed amateur radio operator and a member of the Ithaca area radio club.
